It's Spring time... and you know what that means! Spring time is the best time for Farmer's Markets in Austin... which I do love to visit if you don't already know that about me. The Mister and I just "happened" to stumble upon this weeks Market. We were taking a walk with our new pup Sophie at Mueller Park when we came upon their Sunday Market (which we've never been to yet).
Apparently it's been open since 2012 but we've never happened to be there on any particular Sunday before. Hmmmmm... seems strange in all the years that we've lived n the east side that we'd never come across the closet Farmer's Market to us. Ha ha! That's so typical. So now that we know we can venture out there to buy some fresh produce. I think it's so important to shop locally and support our hard working Farmers! Johnson's Backyard Garden has the freshest vegetables... no joke! You can sign up for a CSA membership and they even have their own veggie guide and recipe's available online.
Bring your pups but they have to be "leashed". Mueller Park is a privately owned park... not owned by COA however there is a leash ordinance.
Check out Oh-Kimchi.
Local seasonal Kimchis and Korean side dishes handmade in Austin by the Lunde family and co. Inspired by Korean traditions, family recipes, and you!
Get some fresh hand made tamales by Tamale Place! They have pork, chicken, Tex-Mex beef and even vegetarian tamale's. Take a Gander at their menu here.
Next time I'm so gonna try these Watermelon Radishes grown by Harrison Creek Farm! Supposedly they taste like regular radishes but are more mild and without the "heat". Aren't they beautiful?
Get beef free of antibiotics, steroids and added hormones... raised by George and Amy Greer in Brady, Texas.
They even have wonderful melodies for you to listen to as you shop and eat!
It was an over cast but warm Sunday here at The Farmer's Market. We didn't come "prepared" for this event with bags, money or empty stomachs but I'm super glad to know that it's close by. Hope you've all enjoyed this Farmer's Market post and remember to shop local and buy handmade!
xoxo
